"Minari" is a drama film, also known as "Water Celery", which tells the story of Jacob's family, a Korean, struggling to survive after immigrating to the United States.
At the beginning of the review, the beautiful countryside contrasts sharply with the desolation that his wife Monica saw when she got out of the car. Jacob moved his family from the West Coast of the United States to the remote state of Arkansas. He also used all the money to buy a piece of wasteland, thinking that the family could make a fortune by farming and being a farmer.
But he obviously didn't say that to his wife. The wife didn't even know that the life below was going to be turned upside down. Jacob made the decision to move the family alone. This is actually uncommon, but combined with the protagonist's Korean background, it's easy to understand. Korean men have a lot of machismo, and it is revealed in the film that Jacob has been in the United States for many years, but he is still sending money to his native family. It can be seen that this Korean-American still has strong traditional Korean culture and concepts. .
And these traditional exotic cultures and the new American dream gradually began to merge in the film. This is not a film that criticizes cultural exclusion, but a film that integrates cultures.
Just like this family will finally see the light after experiencing the hardships and hardships of life, but when a fire comes and extinguishes their hopes, they are not completely knocked down by life, they are still alive with tenacity and optimism, this is the The quality that Koreans are proud of is like the lush Korean water celery that grows from a waterhole in the United States at the end of the film.
